Gaming Metroid Prime Trilogy $10 *sale*

Wouldn't the GamePad fall off from that? The only way of making it sure to have it secured would be if it had screws or glued, which are neither ideal.

Nevertheless, it looks like a really fun way to play shooters!

Look at the back of the gamepad. There is a place for you to screw something in. That's how one of Nyko's batteries was secured.

Yes i have tried it, i have a hacked wii you know so why wouldn't i try it. You comparing motion control gimmicks to a real GC controller is hilarious though Nintendo fucked up with the Wii so many games people will never play cuz of the stupid gimmick controls. I REALLY wanna play Galaxy but o well.

...was one of your family member beaten to death with a Wiimote or something? It's really not THAT awful. Yes, the waggling in Galaxy for the spin move is a gimmick, but it's nowhere near unplayable. It's just a mild inconvenience. And you could always play it on dolphin with a 360 controller with a button mapped to the waggling if you hate it that much.

Right, nobody played the most popular console of that generation.

You clearly just suck at aiming if you think it's difficult.

Common now we both know nobody bought the wii to play the 20 great games on it. They bought it for the gimmick of motion control specifically i remember my grandma loved that shit. Also i didn't say the control method doesn't work properly i just would rather not have to point something at my screen or constantly move my arms around when playing. The GC controller worked just fine in 2002 and it works just fine now, also this version is not even in hd it's literally the same thing as the originals i just don't get it but all the power to whoever wants to spend money for this compilation.

You mean those two holes? I guess that could work but it'd still be flimsy if nothing were to hold it for the middle/top.

YES it is that awful, and your probably right the only way ill get to play Galaxy is through some kind of emulation. I really don't like emulating though so chances are low.

Actually, the textures are a higher resolution. Anyway, I realize now that you're just trolling. Or you're just an enormous uninformed moron. Either way, I'm done with you.

There are four holes, and one place for a screw:

Higher resolution? you mean 480p instead of 480i because its being played on a Wii through component cables? fantastic really worth it. Also how could i be a troll when i own a mass amount of Wii games, the console and almost every Nintendo product ever made? Seems like you don't like the truth apparently, and calling me a moron? cute.

That screw is used by a few accessories. There's a microphone stand being sold in Japan where you screw on the Wii U GamePad for use with Just Dance (seriously) and then there's a wheel attachment that actually makes the Wii U GamePad a steering wheel, which stays put when screwed in. Finally there's a stylus accessory that attaches with a screw to the Wii U GamePad so it'll never get misplaced and can be left dangling from the back for quick use when needed.

Whatever you think of these accessories you have to admit the Wii U GamePad accessory situation is...

screwed up.

Texture resolution is not the same thing as the screen resolution.

In other news, Amazon UK is selling Metroid Other M for £4.85. Oh how far this game fell.

They'd have to pay me £4.85 to even consider it, though. In more serious terms I actually bought the game for £2 from a friend who paid full price for it at some point. Poor bastard.

LOL! That's crazy.

I actually liked MM, although I know I'm one of the only people who did.

I liked it too, because it was Metroid. But it could never carry the bags of the Prime series.

 

[shinkodachi]

Am I the only one who wants a mixed POV Metroid game? Think Sonic Generations where new Sonic goes from third person to sidescrolling in the middle of the level. So, Super Metroid and Metroid Prime mixed. I know I sound stupid suggesting this, though I've been thinking about it for quite long and it'd be unique. Am I insane or could this work?

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Sure there's the top screws but going by the picture the accessory doesn't use the top ones which is what made me curious.

 

[JoostinOnline]

I just realized they didn't fix the voucher system. Now none of the good extras can be unlocked.

It's likely the final will have a system like this "microphone stand" I was talking about: the screw affixes the Wii U GamePad to the frame, while the four holes add support and lessen the tension on the screwhole.

The problem is probably there's a pretty big speed difference. 2D Metroid plays a lot faster than the Prime series, and IMO the change would probably be too jarring. Not to mention the controls would massively change as well. In Sonic it works because you go fast in both 2D and 3D and the controls (apart from the 3D drift mechanic) are mostly the same.

That's a good point. I hope whatever Nintendo decides to do with Metroid includes both 2D and 3D titles. Kinda hard not to like both.
